In short, it was a parody of the medal ceremony at the end of A New Hope with Peter going to accept the medal for saving the bartender from the fire. They even copied the end credits and music from Star Wars.

Thought it was a pretty poor episode overall, just bleh. The only joke I really liked was the nickel shaking sound as Lois and Peter had sex. I just couldn't stand the structure of this episode. I was like cool a Quagmire episode, damn the chicken is back, wait no it's Peter trying to be remembered, wait a plot where he is blind, oh wait back to him trying to remembered. I know family guy does a lot of references, but damn, they really went over the top. I mean they maybe introduced 3 or 4 new jokes, everything else was referential. I liked the other episodes, but I think the show is declining. Maybe I just don't care for this style anymore.

How about creating an American Dad thread if you guys have so much to talk about? I, for one, haven't watched American Dad yet, and would like to visit the Family Guy thread without having to sift through spoilers to a different show.

That, or at least change the thread topic to notify others that two shows are being discussed.

Anyone else a little mad that Family Guy is getting bumped from the schedule for at least the next two weeks for Episode II and Nascar? Fox spends a fortune promoting "Animation Domination" only to pull it after 3 weeks, which is less time than they spent showing the promos. Why not show Episode II this Wednesday so people can watch it before heading out to the midnight screenings?

I had a friend over who had never seen Family Guy. He didn't get the Chicken fight. I tried to explain that it had no meaning, but the joke was that it served no purpose to further the story line and went on long enough to be funny. He still didn't get it but I was laughing my ass off.

But, that's trademarkFamily Guy! Take a joke to the point where it starts out funny, drags on and on until you're sick of it, and then gets funny again because it's dragged on for so long. For example, Peter and his knee injury.

Sort of like every other skit on Saturday Night Live...oh wait, you said starts out funny..... [theedge backs away slowly] (like the kool aid guy, oh yeah!!!)

Thanks to the crew for all the nods to previous seasons as a "thank you" to the faithfull. It's risky, because as someone else mentioned a newcomer will not get it. The chicken fight was several minutes of virtual dead air to a newbie, but comedy gold to an original fan.
